If you are looking for a new pet to raise, please consider visiting your local pet shelter first. You will not only find your new furry friend there but will also help support The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort between The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund®, and the Ad Council. By joining Bloggin' Mamas' effort to raise awareness for this project online, you could win a $100 Amazon gift card! Hope you will use the card to buy items for the shelter pet you are adopting if you turn out to be the lucky winner.

Each year approximately 3-4 million pets are adopted from shelter and rescue groups, but 2.4 million healthy and treatable pets still need our help to find a home. The goal of The Shelter Pet Project is to make shelters and rescue groups the first place people turn to when looking to get a new pet.

In celebration of “National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day” on April 30 and to support “Adopt a Cat Month” in June, Lance Bass (a radio host and entertainer who first rose to fame as a member of NSYNC) has joined The Shelter Pet Project to share the love and joy that adopted pets bring to his life. Bass, his husband Michael Turchin, and their rescue dogs Lily, Foster and Dingo star in a “Meet My Shelter Pet” series video from The Shelter Pet Project. A second video, narrated by Bass, highlights the importance of shelter pet adoption and provides viewers with more information on how to adopt.

The Shelter Pet Project showcases the unique bonds between shelter pets and their adoptive owners, and reminds people that there are thousands of amazing shelter pets ready to meet them. These videos and other ads help break down misconceptions surrounding shelter pets and spread the word that pets in shelters are wonderful and loveable.

One lucky person will win a $100 Amazon Gift Card!
